Constant Detail

MOVE

Constant
public static const MOVE:String = "move"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The MoveEvent.MOVE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a move event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
oldXThe previous x coordinate of the object, in pixels.
oldYThe previous y coordinate of the object, in pixels.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
